[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8605648, member: 19857"] 1) Burn it with fire. If that's too mundane burn it in fire built from a specific kind of wood coated in alchemical powders. 2) Immersion in pure running water. 3) Dipping it in liquid lead/iron/silver/some other occultish metal 4) (For a darker turn) Can only be destroyed as part of a blood sacrifice - someone has to die to destroy the item. 5) You can't destroy them - you have no choice but to lock them away somewhere to keep them out of the hands of others in some kind of vault. 6) Every item has its own unique ritual that needs to be performed based on the mythos that it's tied to. So a whistle that summons the Hounds of Tindalos would need to be placed in a perfectly spherical room with no angles in it for a prime number of days, or a tome tied to the Mi-Go needs to be treated with certain alchemical anti-fungal reagents. Not magic rituals per se but things the PCs can do that are the antithesis of what the item was meant to do is often the thing that destroys it in those kinds of stories. [/QUOTE]
